DESCRIPTION
General
The Volvo 121/122 S is a two- or four-door, five-seater car. Many
colours are available and in each particular case the colour of the internal
fittings and upholstery harmonizes with the external finish of the car.
In addition to a spacious luggage compartment, where the spare wheel
and tool kit are stowed, there is also plenty of storage space inside the
car itself, such as a shelf with its own lighting under the dashboard,
a recessed hat shelf below the rear window and roomy pockets on the
inside of the front doors. Standard equipment on the car includes a trip
meter in the speedometer, a windscreen washer and a back-up light which
goes on automatically when the reverse gear is engaged. Both front seats
are fitted with safety belts. The car is of the integral construction type
so that there is no separate frame. The front and rear suspensions as
well as the engine and transmission are attached directly to the body.
The surface finish of the body is synthetic and the primer used rust-
proofs the body. The car is also thief-proof since the connection between
the ignition switch and the ignition coil is in the form of an armoured
cable.
